Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition

💓 The game isn't very long, but it's a heartwarming and impressive story.

퍼즐도 플레이도 적당한 난이도이지만 특정 구간 모르면 죽어야지 패턴과 죽으면 처음부터 시작이라는 것이 살짝코롬 빡침

The only possible things I could critique: - The combat is not anything special. - The enemy designs, some of them at least are more annoying than cool, and also there aren't that many enemy types. It's not a huge game though, so it's passable. - The story I personally didn't connect with majorly. Apart from these relatively minor gripes - A glowing positive recommendation from me. The art and cinematography is just world-class, and the climax at the end was a one of a kind gaming experience for me. The platforming was engaging enough to not be trivial, while also not being frustrating. The game also rewards you a LOT and OFTEN. I felt very spoilt compared to something like Silksong lol. The skill tree also generally felt substantial. Big yes. 9/10.

Great game. Keeps the old man spry.

I'd consider Ori and the Blind Forest to be the white bread of metroidvanias; aside from the absolutely stunning visuals, it's the definition of 7/10. The movement feels fine, combat is... there, and the story barely exists aside from the very beginning and end (though it does get quite emotional. I actually started to care about the characters near the end). The biggest disappointment to me was that only a couple of the 12 or so areas stood out to me after finishing the game-- the others just felt like incredibly basic executions of played out ideas. If you're looking for something beyond the basics of what a metroidvania provides, you won't find it here. That being said, it's still a perfectly functional and entertaining game besides. If you just want something to scratch that metriodvania itch or aren't looking for anything beyond the trailer, you're sure to enjoy the full game. Tl;Dr: Get it on sale if this isn't your first metroidvania, and avoid it if you care about story or combat.
